Years ago, a Canadian nmed Dunsmuig with an eye for natural beauty, had acquired an estate of some 600 acres of woodâ€" land along the shore at Royal Roads, He cleared land on the seaâ€" frontâ€"where there is a sheltered lagoon separated from the straits by a natural spit over a mile lonf. On the cleared land Dunsmuir built a stone mansion almost resembling a Norman castle. He employed workers also to make beautiful garâ€" dens, lawns and terraces. With no lack of British Columbia timber, stables, garages, residences for tghlrdeners and other workers on the estate were likewise built for permanence. But the day came when the stalwart old Don&l.as first saw the glories of nsmuir "castle" cease to be, Stables, garâ€" ages and residences stood empty for yearsâ€"until the navy came back to Royal Roads, where gallant ships had found anchorage a cenâ€" tury ago. _ 0_ Sailing ships in earlier times were wont to find anchorage offâ€" shore as they voyaged in or out of the Straits of Juan de Fuca. Early charts indicated the anchorage as Royal Roads; hence the happy thought of someone in giving this distinctive name to the Royal Canaâ€" dian Naval College. . â€" Perm'uie'nfml;;i'l;:lings were alâ€" ready Javg%lpjbl_e when the governâ€" week ago had the honor of g conducted over the naval college the commnndingl officer, Capt, J. M. Grant, R.C.N. As one of the veterans of the original Royal Naval College of Canada before the last war, the C.O. could take legitimate pride in showing the reâ€" established college at work in a perfect location at the southern end of Vancouver Island. The first fifty cadets to be graduated last summer are already at sea. The permanent force graduâ€" ates are midshipmen, R.C.N., in caS‘it.nl ships of the Royat Navy. Others, enlisted for active service during hostilities only, were 8ro- moted midshié)men, R.C.N.V.R. They i"oined anadian _ fighting ships. They cOuld have started on the way to becoming. Canadian officers under no more favora?le auspices. On a visit to the Canadian Naval College, at Royal Roads, by (,‘hlrlea A. Bowman Next July 1, there will be fifty vacancies for Canadian Naval Cadets to enter Royal Roads, Canâ€" didates to qualify on that date must have attained the age of 15 years, 8 months, but the age limit is 17â€" years, 8 months. There will, doubtless, be no lack of keen lads to take the cadetship examination in May. Many must have heard of this attractive way to enter the Royal Canadian Navy as a permanâ€" ent career.

If jobs in tg\e woods, to cut fn:h logs, mine and nilwnY timbers ai pulpwood, are not filled, the war effort, and as well our national welfare, will suffer seriously. The same may be said of emlployment vacancies in packing ganu, at railway maintenance, in base metal mines, and in coal mines in some areas. Men not needed on the farms for the winter are the only sizeable squly of workers we have left to call on in ‘Canada to get these jobs done this winter. Cerâ€" tainly it is a patriotic duty for farmers who can do so to respond. Then, of course, the wages earned will add to the year‘s earnings for men who take these jobs. The extra money will help at home."
